to everyone who rides in washington,
we all need to contact our district representatives about the new noise bill that is trying to be passed. if you haven't heard about it you can go to http://www.king5.com/upfront/ and watch the video in the top right hand corner. if this gets passed this will just give them momentum to ban us from riding in even more places. everyone needs to get in contact with their representatives and voice your opinions.

It looks like the bill is dead. I watched Upfront last night and was amazed at Klines view of ORV riders. He is a f*cking dumba*s!!! Here is the email he wrote ripping the sport.


Dear Mr. Helgeson,

I signed on because I have been annoyed, endangered, and angered one too
many times by people riding motorized dirt-bikes and other off-road vehicles
that have no damn business anywhere. To me, this bill is narrow--it doesn't
include those "personal watercraft," seemingly jet-powered little missiles
whose only apparent purpose is to risk death and dismemberment for boaters
and swimmers, for the amusement of spoiled drunk teenagers.

Yes, I am sure there is the occasional responsible person who rides one of
these machines on land or water. And yes, like every human being I have
been pleasantly surprized to find my stereotypes broken. But why, why, why,
do folks insist on motorized "sports"? Those two words are an oxymoron.
There is nothing sporting--athletic, physically demanding--about riding any
machine anywhere. And it's a damned annoyance to folks who see the outdoors
as a place to go for quiet and solitude and self-exploration. I would be
happy to ban the use of the internal combustion engine off-road, by anyone
without a handicapped sticker, subject to a stiff fine. Maybe we could call
this an anti-obesity measure.

Please circulate this to all motorized sports enthusiasts, so they can
remember never to vote for me.
